This card (sold with the name "Wireless desktop G network card- model F5D7001") works perfectly with ndiswrapper tool, and I reported in this forum some months ago my success.
Now I tried to use the 2.14 PuppyCD to see if bcm43xx support works, but with no chance.
The driver is automatically loaded at startup (pfix=ram) but there is no way to connect my pci wireless card to my Belkin router. When I test bcm43xx driver, it sees my card as 'eth0', but it doesn't find any wireless network available. I'm not using encryption nor MAC filtering. My SSID is hidden, but I correctly wrote it in 'autoconnect' and 'template' profiles.
I tried to unload and then load again bcm43xx driver with no chance.
If I unload bcm43xx and load bcmwl5.inf with ndiswrapper, the pci card is seen as 'wlan0' and it works perfectly. Now I'm writing this post with ndiswrapper.

If it's useful, when I load ndiswrapper the leds on the pci card flash, when I load bcm43xx drivers they are off, even when I'm searching for an alive network through the 'test eth0' button in network setup.

EDITED: er... Maybe I was a little in a hurry, but I have just read in the forum something about a bcm43xx-firmware I didn't know of . I downloaded the pet package, saved it in a floppy, rebooted, and when I was in Puppy desktop again, I mounted the floppy and installed the bcm43xx-firmware.pet package. Then I configured my network with the right SSID, gateway, DNS and IP as always. Guess what driver am I successfully using now ?
